MuseScore 4: Moving from notation software to composition software

I just watched the MuseScore video. I get that he’s trying to be entertaining, but he just comes off as a jerk to me. Doesn’t make him less correct of course, but do we really need a blood-vomiting Shostakovich or imagined email exchange making fun of “New All” (among other examples)?

Honestly, it’s disappointing that this is the default way to criticize someone’s work, however bad it may be.

Imagine if your users, teachers or even parents critiqued your work in this way.

As someone who has spent many hours dealing with Musescore's frequently bizarre UI, I found it hilarious and cathartic

It reminds me of the Zero Punctuation's style. It's probably not for everyone but it clearly has an appreciative audience.

I'm willing to give it a pass because it's in good faith and he gives praise as well; it's not like an Angry Video Game Nerd-style rant. Also, this is a review for his YouTube audience more than it is criticism aimed at MuseScore's designers. I'm sure he wouldn't critique the work of his kids or students this way.
